The Jews invented the misnomer definition of atheism to impede the progress of atheists!!!

Humanism - ontological doctrine that posits that humans define realityTheism - ontological doctrine that posits a supernatural entity creates and defines realityAtheism - political doctrine opposed to theist doctrine in public policy
I am right, and you are wrong - I hope you die peacefully

The Jews are to blame? Even if your half-baked lemon of a theory was true, are the Assyrians to blame for the state of the world now? Maybe we should track down their living descendants and order them to pay back all the damages from raping and pillaging the fertile crescent 5000 odd years ago?

Feckin' What the FUCK? Lone white male who hates Jews... Jesus FUCKING Christ. What kind of low life troglodyte are you?

This modern, dominant religion has proved to be a popular and effective strategy employed to control populations of humans after the formation of complex societies where the usefulness of propitiation to Gods for a good harvest had expired. Certain Jews in Judea had invented Christianity to try and destroy Rome, which had invaded Judea in 64BC under Pompey.

This is from the 19th century Jewish historian Heinrich Graetz:

The following is from Nietzsche:

This strategy has extended to control and ultimately destroy the rest of Western civilization, from Europe to America. The Jews are to blame for all of this.

Hallo and welcome!

Yep....you've almost got it right...just turn the concept around 180 degrees. It was Rome that invented Christianity to suppress the Jews, not the other way around.

Christianity just reflected the Roman world. The Caesar was replaced with The Pope, Roman Senators were replaced with Bishops, the Assembly were the lower ranking church officials, priests and such. Christianity is the Roman government. Christians copied the only thing they knew and that was the power and organization of the Roman government. It sure worked for the Roman Empire so it'll work for the Christian Empire too.

No, no, no!

It was the Jews who invented Rome to suppress the christians

You are one third right.

Christians invented Jews to pacify the Romans, Romans invented Christianity to suppress the Jews, and what you said.

“You see… sometimes life gives you lemons. And when that happens… you need to find some spell that makes lemons explode, because lemons are terrible. I only ate them once and I can say with certainty they are the worst fruit. If life gave me lemons, I would view it as nothing short of a declaration of war."

Christians invented Jews to pacify the Romans, Romans invented Christianity to suppress the Jews, and what you said.

No, no, no!

The Carthaginians invented the Jews who invented the Romans to get them to invent the Christians to pacify the Cretans all to get back at the Romans!

As late as 400 CE, (St.) John Chrysostom was still yelling at HIS congregation to stop going to the synagogue. Christianity grew organically and in a complex way from Jewish Apocalypticism. There was no "orthodoxy" and every community was very different. There was no "Christianity". There were many "Christianities" just as there are today.

Insufferable know-it-all. God has a plan for us. Please stop screwing it up with your prayers.

Yeah, but back in the day they had the balls to settle doctrinal differences with blood and steel and fire. None of this pansy ass "coexist" shit.

The oldest churches still extant (read: the ones the [self-]righteous didn't manage to kill all of, unlike, say, the Arians or Gnostics) date back to the first conference of Constantinople. That's 381 AD, as it happens. So just a little after the fact, compared to the purportedly euhemerised foundation myth.
